Swifts! -- WTNs 08 SEQ

Yesterday 22 Oct 08 we saw our first White-throated Needletails for 
this season.
	From the Mt Mee /D'Aguilar Range (SEQ) we could see the 
newsworthy storm way down south over the Gold Coast. By late 
afternoon its edging clouds were slipping up past us rapidly, 
bringing strange light and cold air. Then, abruptly, the Swifts had 
arrived:  both high-zoomers and low swoopers, the latter working the 
air over the trees in our garden. We could hear their calls; and the 
Dollarbirds were calling agitatedly too.
Always a joy to see the Swifts back, as if looking at them makes 
breathing easier.
Judith.
